Royal Challengers Bengaluru launched 'RCB Cares' fund to support families of 11 victims and 56 injured in the June 4 stampede at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, responding after three months of silence.
- On Thursday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru broke its nearly three-month silence, saying the pause reflected grief and that silence "was our way of holding space" after the June 4 stampede.
- On June 4, the stampede occurred when thousands of RCB supporters gathered outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium less than 24 hours after their June 3 IPL victory.
- RCB announced the launch of 'RCB Cares', pledging Rs 10 lakh to each bereaved family and establishing a fund to aid injured fans.

- Critics immediately seized on the post, with Mohandas Pai calling it `fake tears` and a `marketing gimmick`, as the ICC World Cup 2025 matches moved from Chinnaswamy following the Justice Cunha Commission's findings.
